“It could be a new phase in his career, and Zlatan has said that he is willing to wait until after the Euros. I want to keep open the tiniest gap that might exist because it would be fantastic to bring Zlatan,” Ericson told Business Insider.

As Zlatan plays for Sweden at the Euro 2016 championships against Italy, his Man Utd future is still uncertain.

Jose Mourinho will have to wait for the Swedish Olympic Committee’s decision regarding Zlatan’s place at their national squad. Moreover, he will also hope that Zlatan ends his international games without an injury.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s next Euro 2016 appearance will be against Italy for the Group Stage match this Friday, June 17, 3:00PM CET.
